Antim Monastery - Review

Antim Ivireanu was an 18th century polymath and bishop of the Orthodox Church of Romania. He founded the monastery as a centre of reform for 'fallen women' and as a place of learning. It's remarkable among religious institutions for actually bearing its patriarch's work - Ivireanu himself designed and sculpted the massive oak door of the church, painted some of the beautiful icons inside, and designed other sculptural decorations. Check out the scenes from the Nativity and from Revelations. There is a small museum here dedicated to Archbishop Antim Ivireanul. The bell tower you see was added in 1857.
